A UN probe has found that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) committed acts bearing the hallmarks of genocide during their capture of al-Fashir, Sudan, in October 2025. The report details mass killings, rape, and torture targeting non-Arab communities, particularly the Zaghawa and Fur, as part of a "planned and organised operation."

• The RSF takeover of al-Fashir in October 2025 resulted in thousands killed and raped over three days.
• The UN Independent International Fact-Finding Mission for Sudan documented coordinated ethnic targeting, sexual violence, and "exterminatory rhetoric."
• British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper described the findings as "truly horrific" and urged for a ceasefire.
